<p>The given <code class="computeroutput">value</code> must be suitable for transmission over MPI. There are several classes of types that meet these requirements:</p>

All primitive C++ data types that have MPI equivalents, e.g., <code class="computeroutput">int</code>, <code class="computeroutput">float</code>, <code class="computeroutput">char</code>, <code class="computeroutput">double</code>, etc., have built-in mappings to MPI data types. You may turn a Serializable type with fixed structure into an MPI data type by specializing <code class="computeroutput"><code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="is_mpi_datatype.html" title="Struct template is_mpi_datatype">is_mpi_datatype</a></code></code> for your type.</p></li></ul></div>
<p>
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p>Serializable types: Any type that provides the <code class="computeroutput">serialize()</code> functionality required by the Boost.Serialization library can be transmitted and received.</p></li></ul></div>

<p>
</p>
<p>For types that have mappings to an MPI data type (including the concent of a type), an invocation of this routine will result in a single MPI_Send call. For variable-length data, e.g., serialized types and packed archives, two messages will be sent via MPI_Send: one containing the length of the data and the second containing the data itself. Note that the transmission mode for variable-length data is an implementation detail that is subject to change.</p>
